Students previously registered
at University of Toronto at Scarborough who wish to return after
an absence of three or more consecutive sessions (at least 12
months) must submit an "Application To Re-Enrol" at
Registrarial Services, Room S303. As enrollment in MOST
courses is on a first-come, first-served basis, students are strongly
advised to apply to re-enrol by APRIL
1 FOR THE SUMMER SESSION AND JUNE 15 FOR THE FALL/WINTER SESSIONS
in order to have the forms processed in time to take advantage
of the wider availability of courses when the "course selection
period" begins. Students who have a four year degree conferred
normally continue as Special Students. Students who wish to start
a second degree must apply IN
WRITING to the Assistant
Registrar-Admissions (Room S303F) by April 1. For further information
on re-enrolment, telephone (416) 287-7001. See also the section

1. Proof of adequate English facility is required of all applicants except for those: (i) whose first language is English; or (ii) who have studied full-time for at least four years in an English language school system located in a country where the first language is English; or (iii) whose first language is French and have studied for at least four years in the Canadian school system.
2. Applicants who are required to present proof of English facility shall be exempt from the normal admission requirement of having to present the OAC English 1 (or equivalent course). Such applicants are, however, encouraged to include English in their preparation for university. If OAC English 1 is completed as an extra credit, applicants will not be penalized by having the result included in their admission average if the grade is low.
3. One of the following tests and scores will be accepted by the University of Toronto as satisfactory proof of English facility.
The Test of English as a Foreign Language Paper-Based
Test (TOEFL PBT) and the Test of Written English (TWE)
or the TOEFL Computer-based Test (TOEFL CBT)
Minimum requirement:
TOEFL PBT-total score of 600 and 5.0 on TWE
TOEFL CBT-total score of 250 and 5.0 on Essay.
Michigan English Language Assessment Battery.
The minimum requirement is an overall score of 85 with no part
score below 80.
International English Language Testing System
(IELTS). The minimum requirement is an
overall band of 6.5, with no band below 6.
Students should choose OACs that will fulfill the
prerequisites for university courses they intend to take. Review
UofT at Scarborough brochures or consult with Admissions and Liaison
staff. Also see the chart that follows at the end of this section.
The certificates listed below are considered acceptable for admission consideration. Applicants should consult the chart at the end of this section which describes specific Ontario OAC course requirements and take equivalent courses to meet prerequisites.
For programmes that require OAC calculus, applicants
must complete an equivalent course that covers the geometric notion
of a limit, the differentiation and integration of elementary
functions to provide them with a geometric grasp of differentiation
and integration.
Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, Saskatchewan - Grade 12
Quebec - 12 academic C.E.G.E.P.
courses (Transfer credit is granted to candidates who have completed
more than the 12 academic required courses.)
Students who have completed work at other universities
or at other Faculties or Schools of this University may be considered
for admission with advanced standing credit. Acceptance of transfer
credits among Ontario universities shall be based on the recognition
that, while learning experiences may differ in a variety of ways,
their substance may be essentially equivalent in terms of their
content and rigour. Insofar as possible, acceptance of transfer
credit should allow for maximum recognition of previous learning
experience in university-level courses.
Subject to degree, grade and program requirements,
any course offered for credit by one university shall be accepted
for credit by another university when there is virtual equivalency
in course content.
Note that students transferring to the University
of Toronto at Scarborough will be required to complete at least
half of their degree credits and half of their programme requirements
as University of Toronto at Scarborough students. (Students transferring
from other divisions of the University of Toronto are exempt from
this degree requirement. Limits on transfer credit upon admission
still apply.) Students must consult with the Program Supervisor
before taking courses required for the program at another campus.
1Candidates who have completed a one-year CAAT diploma programme (or one year of a two- or three-year CAAT diploma programme) are not eligible for consideration for admission to the first university year unless they have also completed the final academic secondary school year of the jurisdiction in which they attended secondary school. (Mature students who are at least 21 years of age should contact Admissions and Awards.)
2Candidates who have completed a two-year CAAT diploma programme (or two years of a three-year CAAT diploma programme) are eligible to be considered for admission to the first year of a degree programme. Up to two transfer credits will be considered. (effective 1997; the policy change is not retroactive.)
3Candidates who have completed
a three-year CAAT diploma programme are eligible to be considered
for admission with up to five transfer credits.
Candidates who have completed the Diploma with at
least 13 points from the higher level subjects and 24 points in
total, may be considered for admission and awarded transfer credit
for most higher level subjects completed with a grade of 5, 6
or 7.
Candidates who have completed Grade 12 from an accredited
high school with a high grade point average and good scores on
the SAT I: Reasoning Tests and three (preferred) SAT II: Subject
Tests will be considered. ACT and/or CEEB Advanced Placement
(AP) Examinations will also be considered. Transfer credit for
AP examinations is considered.
Candidates who wish to apply for admission on the basis of work completed in other countries or on the basis of other qualifications should check our websites or write to Admissions and Awards, outlining their academic qualifications and intended area of study. Information on admission requirements for applicants from overseas is contained in the Undergraduate Admission Bulletin available from Admissions and Awards.
Applicants who do not hold the published admission requirements may be considered for admission if:
1 they are at least 21 years of age by July 15 of the Summer Session or by October 1 of the Fall/Winter Session, and
2 have been resident in Ontario as a Canadian citizen or permanent resident of Canada for a minimum of twelve months by the above dates, and
3 they achieve high standing in one Pre-university course, or
4 they
achieve high standing in two OAC's completed after the student
is 21 years old. One OAC must be English OAC I.
Students must
receive permission from Admissions and Awards to qualify for consideration
using these options. Therefore, consult before
enroling in any of these courses. Students who wish to prepare
for certain university programmes such as science programmes may
have to do additional studies to ensure all of the prerequisites
will be attained.
Pre-university courses are offered by Woodsworth
College of the University of Toronto. For information about the
pre-university courses, contact Woodsworth College at (416) 978-2415.
Canadian citizens or permanent residents of Canada
who are at least 65 years of age by the first day of term, may
apply for admission as part-time Special Students. Normal admission
requirements are usually waived. Tuition fees will be charged
but limited bursary assistance is available. Call the Assistant
Registrar - Admissions at (416) 287-7529 for information.
Special Students are those registered at UofT at
Scarborough who are not proceeding towards a degree. Most Special
Students have completed degree studies and are taking further
courses for their own purposes.
Students with valid Letters of Permission from other
accredited North American universities may register directly at
UofT at Scarborough, taking courses for transfer credit at their
own home university. Visiting Student status does NOT imply acceptance
as either a student proceeding towards a degree or a Special Student.
Call (416) 287-7529 for applications.
Students currently enrolled in a full-time Ontario
secondary school submit applications through their school's guidance
office.
All other applicants may request an application from Admissions and Awards, giving full details of their educational background and standing. Some applications are available on-line at the Ontario Universities Application Centre.
The specific average or standing required for admission
varies from year to year. Students are selected by taking into
consideration a wide range of criteria including school marks,
distribution of subjects taken, performance in subjects relevant
to the academic programme selected and, for applicants to co-operative
programmes, supplementary information obtained through the co-operative
programme application. While the University of Toronto recognizes
that there may be valid reasons for a student to repeat a course,
in general we urge students to do as well as possible on their
first attempt. In considering students for admission and scholarships,
the University reserves the right to give preference to students
whose marks are the result of a single attempt at each course.
Possession of minimum requirements does not guarantee
acceptance. Because of limitation of space, preference will be
given to applicants with the best qualifications. Applications
will be considered from candidates whose qualifications do not
meet the normal requirements, but such candidates must offer written
evidence of exceptional ability, or of extenuating circumstances.
Applicants who matriculated prior to the current year are advised
to telephone or write to Admissions and Awards for information.
The University of Toronto reserves the right to determine whether
or not credentials of degree-granting institutions in Ontario
meet the standards for admission to University of Toronto programmes.
